Based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx and adapted for the screen by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, Brokeback Mountain is set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, and tells the story of two young men -- a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy -- who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection - one whose complications, joys, and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.
